(Ichendorf Milano) Your summer travel plans may still be on hold, but after more than a year of living in near isolation, and vaccinations allowing us more freedom, it’s time to bring together your family and friends to catch up and celebrate summer. The 2021 outdoor entertaining season is ramping up with inventive designs that bring indoor style outdoors and break away from the expected. 100-year-old Italian glassmaker Ichendorf Milano has collaborated with artists and designers to produce whimsical collections that are part fairy tale, part science lab. The handblown glass bottles and carafes look delicate but are made from durable borosilicate glass and are dishwasher safe, making them the perfect upgrade for your next dinner party on the deck. The minimalist Cactus collection of pitchers designed by Bologna-based design studio Urge takes inspiration from the silhouette of a saguaro cactus with branches that act as handle and spout. The design balances out the liquid so that it evenly disperses throughout the handle, spout and body, creating a surreal effect. Alessandra Baldereschi's Animal Farm collection for Ichendorf. (Ichendorf Milano) Handblown glass creatures inhabit designer Alessandra Baldereschi’s whimsical Animal Farm collection of water bottles and jugs. A white dove, squirrel or owl sitting on a branch becomes optically enlarged when liquid is added. “The Animal Farm collection is like an illustrated diary that collects childhood memories, life in the countryside, fairy tales with animals represented as prodigious protagonists of natural life,” said Baldereschi. “Nature never stops reinventing itself, and is for me an inexhaustible source of inspiration.” Go ahead and pour your next lemonade from a work of art.

Just fix the current train system. | COMMENTARY - Capital Gazette SAVE NOW Why are we still considering the maglev’s system’s additional $40 billion investment to save 40 minutes? Fixing the Acela roadbed will provide most of the benefits at much lower cost. My research center at George Mason University sponsored a systems engineering evaluation in 2019 comparing the Japanese maglev, the German Velaro D High Speed Rail and the new Amtrak French Alstom, Avelia Liberty system alternatives. The other transportation options currently available from Washington, D.C., to New York City take over three to four hours travel time vs. an estimated one hour and 15 minutes for the maglev. The Federal Railroad Administration and Maryland Department of Transportation Draft Environmental Impact Study is open for comment. I agree with the study on the need for increased high-speed-rail system capacity, just not the magnetic levitation alternative.

Hundreds of Jewel-Osco workers are eligible to join lawsuit after ruling. By ALEXIA ELEJALDE-RUIZ CHICAGO TRIBUNE | FEB 11, 2021 TOP BUSINESS VIDEOS Up Next - Heineken CEO on Impact of Pandemic, Beer Innovation Ad : (0:30) Closing Player Potentially hundreds of Jewel-Osco employees will be given a chance to join a lawsuit alleging the grocery chain improperly denied overtime pay to assistant store directors. The suit, filed in May in Chicago federal court, accuses Jewel-Osco, the largest grocery chain in the Chicago area, of misclassifying assistant store directors as salaried employees exempt from receiving overtime pay under state and federal law. It is one of numerous lawsuits claiming grocers and retailers cut their labor costs by giving employees managerial titles even as they do mostly manual work. ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT Assistant store directors “spend the vast majority of their time performing the same duties as non-exempt employees, including helping customers, working the cash register, moving products, stocking shelves, setting and resetting displays, counting inventory, cleaning the store, and otherwise standing in as cashiers, stockers, or other hourly workers,” the suit alleges. It claims they don’t perform managerial duties like hiring and firing and should be classified as hourly workers eligible to receive time-and-a-half pay when they work more than 40 hours a week.
